I have been in Northeast Florida my whole life and rode out a few storms. Honestly the storm itself is not that bad, unless your expecting a direct hit. How well does your area do with a ton of water? Do you flood? Are there any trees that could come down on your house or block roads? Basically those are the things you should be concerned about. So long as you have supplies (water batteries, non perishable food). The ability to flush your toilet with no electricity ( if you have city water no problem if you have well water plenty of extra water for this purpose). Then you should be fine, do you have a cell phone and a way to charge it if you lose power? I wouldn't want to not have the ability to call for help if I needed to. The bottom line is that it is a risk to ride out a storm especially if there are mandatory evacuations so close. But that risk is something you have to determine for yourself if you are willing to take. As far as the kids if you are calm about it they should be too. Once the power went out my brother and I thought it was the coolest thing to watch the storm out of the big picture window in our parents living room. We just thought is was normalFor this to happen.

That sounds scary, my first thought was to be safe rather than sorry especially being pregnant with kiddos. I live in southern California and we have had a swarm of earthquakes today. If they could watch earthquakes like storms and recommended evacuation I would be out of here!! Hoping for safety for you and your family.

I'm in San Diego and have been feeling the earthquakes too. Damn natural disasters! Being from North Idaho, the worst thing I'm used to is snow...I feel like its only a matter of time before CA drops into the ocean lol. I don't know what I would do around a hurricane...but I would probably want to get as far away as possible!

My parents are in Gulf Breeze and they live right across the street from the water! They were boarding up the windows today. My dad is also an insurance adjuster so he knows a big storm from a small one and they are staying put. Try not to stress too much I know there is a lot of panic and no gas right now so just stay calm what ever you guys decide to do. Good luck!!!

I am in southeast Texas and rode out hurricane Rita which was a cat 5! Its kinda scary but like the others said, if you will be OK with flooding and there aren't trees that could fall through your house its not too bad. We didn't have power for almost a month and that was a pain but we had a generator to run a window unit and our fridge and stuff. Good luck! Looks like it is moving more towards the west (us!) Anyway so you may not have too many problems!

Well, I have been home all day, normally work full time, and at 4:30 our power went out. I immediately heard the undeniable sound of a storm rolling in. Funny thing is after typing the first sentence the power just flicked back on YEA! Hope it stays on! It was starting to get warm in the house.
